They confirmed and records showed they undertook the providers mandatory training and completion of these was monitored by the management team.
No activities programme or creative engagement mentioned so the role is mostly routine personal care.
We observed that the registered manager was supported at the home by a deputy manager, the nominated individual, a clinical support and receptionist who were all supernumerary. The registered manager told us working on the day of our visit was a registered nurse, a nursing assistant, 7 care staff, 4 housekeeping staff, a chef, a kitchen assistant, 2 activity staff, a maintenance person and a gardener.
